This is a single-purpose book, telling how to choose a connection and get online. It doesn't try to teach you how to use the 'net once you're there. That is graceful in its simplicity. Title: Courte information sur le systeme UNIX et les reseaux informatiques ("Short introduction to UNIX and computer networks") Author: Marc Schaefer Language: French Publisher: ALPHANET NF, Battieux 6c, 2013 COLOMBIER (CH) ISBN: none Price: 10 SFr Pages: 60 Published: 1994 =46or more information: schaefer@alphanet.ch Thanks for the info: Notes: Beginner introduction to UNIX and introduction to networking tools (uucp, mail, news, www, ftp, etc.) Title: Crossing the Internet Threshold: an Instructional Handbook Author: Roy Tennant, John Ober and Anne Lipow Publisher: Library Solutions Press ISBN: 1-882208-07-2 Price: $45 Pages: 168 Published: 2nd ed, 1994 =46or more information: (510) 841-2636 or charlotte@library-solutions.com Thanks for the info: Robert Slade Notes: (This review covers the first edition.) An instructional package for librarians teaching Internet basics. This book is useful for newcomers to the Internet. This book is useful for trainers. This book is useful for librarians. Ultimately, this book is most useful for those training librarians who are new to the Internet. A newcomer to the Internet might find this material a bit disorganized, but very definitely helpful and useful. It is heartening to see the very strong emphasis on Internet etiquette and culture which all too often gets short shrift, even in introductory guides. The grouping of discussion lists and electronic journals with e-mail is a logical extension which is not always made. The work is not limited to the novice, though; many Internet users would find the fact sheets to be a handy quick reference. Title: The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage Author: Clifford Stoll Publisher: Doubleday ISBN: 0-385-24946-2 Price: $5.95 Pages: 332 Published: 1989 =46or more information: ?

Title: DOS User's Guide to the Internet Author: James Gardner Publisher: Prentice Hall ISBN: 0-13-106873-3 Price: $34.95 Pages: 308 Goodies: DOS disk Published: 1993 =46or more information: (515) 284-6751 or phyllis@prenhall.com Thanks for the info: Robert Slade Notes: A minimalist software package and manual for setting up a UUCP connection for mail and news. This title is almost completely misleading. This book is not for DOS users, except that you must be running DOS to run the MKS UUCP for DOS programs for which this book is a manual. This book is also not about the Internet, as such. Both the specifics and the concepts refer to UUCP rather than the Internet. The text of the book does point out that there are differences, but the examples given relate to UUCP. That said, for those who are interested in making their first move to a direct Internet connection, this could be an excellent choice. UUCP was designed to be quite comfortable with dialup connections, and this book and associated programs, help to automate a number of the connection functions while freeing the user from much of the technical detail that TCP/IP requires. Title: Driving the Infohighway - A Guide for VAX/VMS Users Author: Gerald Neufeld Publisher: New Fields Publishing ISBN: ? Price: $18.95 (US), $24.95 (CAN) Pages: 296 Published: 1994 =46or more information: (204) 729-8943 Thanks for the info: Peter Scott Notes: The book is for users who will be accessing the Internet via a VAX/VMS host. It is designed for a reader who has some familiarity with personal computers but who has had little or no experience in using the VAX. It assumes that the user will be accessing the VAX using a VT-100 or better terminal or terminal emulation program. It explains how to access the VAX using a PC on the campus-wide ethernet LAN or by modem. The book can be used as a tutorial for beginners. The novice user will find the step by step instructions, practical examples, and glossary very helpful. However, the book can also be used as a valuable resource for the more experienced user.

The title would suggest this is a discussion of the basics of email. That is true only in the most simplistic and superficial way.

Contents include the protocols, telnet, downloading files, archie, e-mail, mailing lists, Usenet, gophers, WAIS, WWW as well as a look into audio/video, virtual reality, security issues and the future. Of necessity, many of these are treated very briefly but as an overall introductory manual, I found it very readable and informative.

Title: The Internet by E-mail Author: Clay Shirky Publisher: Ziff-Davis Press ISBN: 1-56276-240-0 Price: $19.95 Pages: 256 Published: July 1994 =46or more information: ? Thanks for the info: Michael Crestohl Notes: This book is for the thousands of people who have "only E-mail" access to the Internet and think all they're going to get is mail. I get the impression this book is intended for people who have just been "given" an account and perhaps a cursory description of how to send and read messages. But we all can learn from it. It's amazing what you can do with Internet mail if you know how to do it. Clay Shirky shows you how in this very easy-to-absorb, non-overpowering title.

Notes: Title: The Internet Companion, A Beginner's Guide To Global Networking Author: Tracy LaQuey with Jeanne C. Ryer Publisher: Addison-Wesley Publishing ISBN: 0-201-62224-6 Price: $10.95 Pages: 196 Published: 1993 =46or more information: internet-companion@world.std.com Thanks for the info: Robert Slade Notes: The Companion includes a detailed history of the Internet, a discussion on "netiquette" (network etiquette), and how to find resources on the net. It is difficult to know what is supposed to be "companionable" about this volume. Physically, it would be easy to carry it along with you. You probably wouldn't want to, though. This is not a guide for explorations, either. It does give one some background on the Internet, but it is not in a step-by-step fashion. (How to access the Internet is the *last* topic to be covered.) The newcomer to the Internet will more likely want to read it all (possibly at one sitting; it's small enough) and look at the network gestalt. This work is somewhat less technical than the UNIX biased "Whole Internet Guide". However, it goes too far in the opposite direction. The authors boast that it was finished in less than two months. It shows. Companies which are getting into the Internet in a big way might make this the introductory volume for new users: it is generally upbeat and non-threatening. However, help should be on hand when people actually start using the net.

Notes: A grassroots guide to learning about the Internet. It takes the clueless newbie and leads him from the fundamentals - like understanding what the Internet is, how to connect and how addressing works - and through the Internet's most important tools. This book doesn't cover any ground that hadn't been trod dozens of times before by other everything-you-need- to-know-about-the-Internet book ever written, but it delivers the information in a lively, always interesting manner. No topics are glossed over and the authors never get mired in the dirty technical details. This book is intended for folks who will be accessing the Internet using a UNIX command line prompt. If you are just trying to get started on the Internet, but don't know which of 50 step-by-step hold-your-hand books in your bookstore you should buy, The Internet Complete Reference won't disappoint you.

At over 350 pages, there is much information and the book is well indexed. Most of the material is oriented toward UNIX shell users, with some discussion of Winsock applications. 2nd edition notes: "We've updated and expanded the book, clarifying the first few chapters, expanding the coverage of WWW and other new services, and generally fixing stuff."

An extensive list of Internet access providers of all types is provided, including access outside of the United States. The guide explains many concepts essential to the Internet, such as the Domain Name System, IP addressing, protocols, and electronic mail. Doesn't tell you how to use the 'net, just how to get connected. Title: The Internet Guide for New Users Author: Daniel P Dern Publisher: McGraw-Hill ISBN: Paperback 0-07-016511, Hardcover 0-07-016510-6 Price: Paperback $27.95, Hardcover $40.00 Pages: 570 Published: 1993 =46or more information: ddern@world.std.com Notes: A very complete introduction to the world of the Internet. Along with the obligatory topics such as telnet, FTP and Archie, the book suggests how to get an Internet account and teaches enough UNIX to survive on the net. This book is more complete and in-depth than many other Internet books: Dern's deep knowledge of all things Internet shines through, although sometimes the book is a bit too formal. The book, like Dern, is laced with dry humor and is UNIX-centric. Highly recommended. Title: Internet in Plain English Author: Bryan Pfaffenberger Publisher: MIS Press ISBN: 1-55828-385-4 Price: $19.95 Pages: 463 Published: September, 1994 =46or more information: ? Notes: Of the various glossaries and dictionaries of Internet jargon, Internet in Plain English is among the most complete. Arranged like a dictionary, it defines just about every term you're likely to hear on and about Internet and UNIX, from "abbrev" to "'zine". It contains a lot of technical terms that tech-heads bandy about relentlessly (like CSO name server, ISDN, and OSI protocol suite) and can give beginners and intermediate users a leg up in understanding what everyone's talking about. Title: Internet Instant Reference Author: Paul E. Hoffman Publisher: Sybex ISBN: 0-7821-1512-8 Price: $12.99 Pages: 317 Published: 1994 =46or more information: ? Notes: This book is part quick reference, part lexicon and part Internet tutorial. Arranged in dictionary format, it defines Internet jargon (like shareware and hypertext) gives brief descriptions of tools (like Knowbot and Listserv), includes short command summaries for using popular programs (like FTP, emacs and elm), and describes various 'net organizations, policies and legislature. Nice design and layout. This book contains a wide variety of information, but is sort of unevenly edited and contains some factual errors that might not be clear to newbies (for instance, in one section it confuses the terms upload and download.) Title: The Internet Library: Case Studies of Library Internet Management and Use Author: Julie Still, ed. Publisher: Meckler ISBN: 0-88736-965-0 Price: $37.50 Pages: 200 Published: June 1994 =46or more information: ?

Order forms can be obtained via FTP as: ftp.nwnet.net/user-docs/passport/nonmem- order-form.txt Thanks for the info: Robert Slade Notes: Covers everything from net etiquette to supercomputers; very comprehensive. This work is a fairly bare bones and no nonsense guide to the Internet. The book is orderly, and the explanations and illustrations are clear. Each chapter covers a single topic and ends with additional references, most often online materials or sources. The work is well researched and highly competent in most cases. There is, in the early chapters, a gracelessness to it which lacks any kind of appeal. Nevertheless, it is a thoroughly researched and valuable reference for those interested in using the resources of the Internet. It costs $39.95 but schools and not-for-profit organizations can buy it for $19.95 plus shipping.

Thanks for the info: Graham Keith Rogers Notes: Graham Rodgers says: "64-page guide to Internet basics. Very easy to follow instructions, clearly set out. With the small size not everything can be included but the price represents good value. The paper cover deteriorates with use." I say: A whole lot of information for the money. Well-presented, simple and above all, short. Covers "What is the Internet?", terms, UNIX basics, e-mail, Usenet, FTP, rlogin and telnet, finger, archie, gopher and veronica. Easy-to-follow examples. They'll sell you just one, but the book is primarily intended to be sold to service providers and distributed to their users. Title: Internet Quickstart Author: Mary Ann Pike and Tod G.

Title: The Internet Roadmap Author: Bennett Falk Publisher: Sybex ISBN: 0-7821-1365-6 Price: $12.99 Pages: 263 Published: 1994 Thanks for the info: David M. Stevenson Notes: David M. Stevenson says, "This book is written by someone who is concerned that the reader get a good grasp of the Internet system quickly. In my case he succeeded; and what he can do for me, he can do for you!" I say: This book is a winner. It explains the basics of the Internet in a clear and concise style. Covers the tools for reading Usenet news, doing e- mail, using FTP, gopher and WorldWideWeb. Doesn't get into the newer, funkier tools too much. It's an easy read and doesn't get bogged down in esoteric, dull stuff. I even like the cover.

Notes: If you've been on the Internet forever (or at least for a couple months) and you think you know it all, pick up Internet Slick tricks. I bet you'll learn something new. This slim guide will show you hundreds of tips and tricks on using the Internet. It's readable and honest=20and full of fascinating facts on decoding graphic images, using Archie, finding info online and much more. One of my favorites. Title: Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh Author: Adam Engst Publisher: Hayden Books ISBN: 1-56830-064-6 Price: $29.95 Pages: 640 Goodies: Mac floppy disk filled with great software and free connect time Published: 2nd ed., 1994 =46or more information: tisk@tidbits.com Notes: I used to think that this was absolutely the best Internet book for Macintosh users that was ever - or could ever be - written. Then, the second edition came out and proved me wrong. This book claims to be "everything you need to get on the Internet" and it delivers: everything from the software you'll need to get connected, to 1,000 pages of copious knowledge. This is a fun, enlightening, excellent book. If you own a Mac and are on the Internet (or want to connect) this is the one to get. Title: Internet Starter Kit for Windows Author: Adam Engst, Corwin Low and Michael Simon Publisher: Hayden Books ISBN: 1-56830-094-8 Price: $29.95 Pages: 600 Goodies: Disk containing a limited version of Chameleon, WinVN news reader, Eudora and WSgopher and free connect time Published: 1994 =46or more information: iskw@tidbits.com Notes: This book is an excellent resource dedicated to Microsoft Windows users. It isn't quite as strong as The Internet Starter Kit for Macintosh but is nonetheless a wonderful guide for teaching Windows users about the Internet and getting them online. It contains all the software you need to get online and explains how to use it. The book's resource listings, list of newsgroups, glossary and PDIAL and nixpub lists are perhaps too thorough - they take up about half the book. Title: Internet System Handbook Author: Danial Lynch and Marshall Rose Publisher: Addison-Wesley ISBN: 0-201-56741-5 Price: $54.95 Pages: ? Published: 1993 =46or more information: ? Thanks for the info: Robert Slade Notes: Essays by people involved with the Internet. Strong on protocols, weak on direction. The book is divided into four parts. The first section deals with an historical and organizational background to the Internet. The second section, written by the people who built the Internet, deals with technical aspects of the major protocols and applications of the Internet. Part three, "Infrastructure," covers issues not centrally relevant to the operation of the Internet, but supporting its use: network performance and management, backbone and node tools, directory services and operational security. The bibliographic information contained in the book overall might be worth the price alone. Quarterman's contribution is carefully and fully researched and well organized. It includes not only texts, but periodicals and online sources as well. Title: The Internet Unleashed Author: Steve Bang, Martin Moore, Rick Gates, et al.

(Although that may seem like a lot, it's not very comprehensive.) Addresses are listed by last name and are also indexed by Internet domain name. This book may be useful for finding associates' e-mail addresses, but is probably no more useful than using one of the many 'net-based e-mail-address search utilities. The book is unevenly edited (I'm in there three times!) and was woefully out of date before the ink was dry.

Hahn and Stout do it right - this book is a resource that long-time Internet addicts and new users will enjoy equally well. Organization is intuitive and consistent. Although it does not point you to as many online resources as some other directories, the ones it points to tend to be high-quality and truly interesting sites to visit. Well-researched and well-indexed.

It's easy to read and loaded with interesting real-life examples. Chapters cover netiquette of e-mail and of discussion groups as well as providing excellent netiquette guidelines for business, home and school use. Particularly useful sections cover Electronic Style (looking good online, tone of voice and signature files) and the "core rules" of the online world. One chapter covers copyright issues and another the etiquette of e- mail privacy. There's even a tiny chapter on "Love & Sex in Cyberspace". This book should be required reading for anyone collecting their Internet Learner's Permit. (You can retrieve a brief excerpt from Netiquette: "The Core Rules of Netiquette" by sending e-mail to netiquette- request@albion.com with the words "archive send core" in the subject line.)

With only a few thousand names in the first edition, this listing is hardly the most complete, but it only contains information about people who choose to be listed.

Very silly and highly recommended. You can get it for free online (The Jargon File) at //www.ccil.org/jargon/jargon.html, but the bound book makes great bathroom reading and contains silly cartoons and stuff. Title: New Riders' Official Internet Yellow Pages Author: Christine Maxwell and Czeslaw Jan Grycz Publisher: New Riders Publishing ISBN: 1-56205-306-X Price: $29.95 Pages: 877 Published: 1994 =46or more information: ? This huge book covers vast ground in its 900-plus pages. Although the quantity is there, the quality isn't exceptional: it is rather unevenly edited. Some of the listings seem to be listed by name rather than subject and many items are listed in multiple places, artifically inflating the size of the book. This index is unique in that it contains listings of some commercial services available via the Internet, such as DIALOG. Icons differentiate the free resources from the costly ones.

Two periodic updates via e- mail. One month of free online time from MRNet. Published: 1994 =46or more information: dilennox@aol.com Notes: This book (with floppy disk) for MS-DOS users helps newcomers get online and take their first steps on the 'net. Fraase first wrote the Mac Internet Tour Guide, and this book seems more like an afterthought than a follow-up. Chapters cover obligatory topics like What is the Internet, Getting Connected, Network News, Transferring Files, Using Gopher and Other Internet Resources. The book's organization leaves something to be desired: talk of telnet, FAQs and Netfind (hardly unimportant topics) are lumped together in the "Other Resources" chapter near the back of the book. The book includes some interesting real-life examples and ideas for things to do online, but too much (for my taste) focuses on how to set up and use the bundled software.

Where others try to produce "complete" documentation for the "whole" Internet, Fisher flatly states (correctly) that this is impossible. Where others try to take you "from the modem up," Fisher suggests you get some basic experience with local bulletin boards. The intent is to give desktop (PC and Mac) users some basic grounding in Internet functions and tools. As such, the book is much less imposing than most of the others of this ilk. (Cheaper, too.) For the majority of new users, however, this is a good, basic introduction. What shortcomings there are in specific information can be quickly filled in once a user has gotten onto the net. The very personal style here probably more than makes up for any other lacks--the Internet is primarily other people, not technologies.

Mainly for system administrators, the book shows how to use every function, mode and mood of sendmail to get your e- mail where it's going. A great, if single-minded, book.

If you're interested in reading (or publishing) an online magazine, it shows you where to go for the goods on Usenet, in mailing lists and on WWW. If you're looking for a job, the authors show you not only how to find job listings online, but how to use the 'net to reserach prospective employers and find international job sources. It also covers lots of ground in education, art, entertainment and business. Even if you've been on the 'net for years, this book can show you corners of the 'net you've never imagined.

It also presents the fundamental topics that are all too often assumed and considered trivial by many network users. It covers the basic utilities and information reaching other networks. An earlier, much less comprehensive version is available via FTP; see previous section. Matisse Enzer says: Very friendly general overview book.

Title: !%@:: A Directory of Electronic Mail Addressing and Networks Author: Donnalyn Frey & Rick Adams Publisher: O'Reilly & Associates ISBN: 1-56592-046-5 Price: $9.95 Pages: 640 Published: 4th ed, June 1994 =46or more information: 800-998-9938 or info@ora.com Thanks for the info: Robert Slade Notes: This book is a reference work. It details the various computer networks with gateways to the Internet. It is common to cite such works as "indispensable": in fact, most users, and even site managers, muddle along quite happily without it. Quick reference "electronic" versions exist of very similar documents, which provide the addressing schemes for the more common network and commercial service gateways. Frey and Adams have, however, put together a very complete and interesting reference, and I do suggest it to anyone managing, or using, extensive e-mail correspondence. As a user of electronic mail, or the manager of a small Internet node or UUCP site, it would be hard to say that you "need" this book. If, however, you are at all interested in the topic of e-mail, you will find this fascinating and useful. *** Upcoming titles {let me know if any of these are out yet!} Title: Complete Idiot's Guide to Mosaic Author: Joe Kraynak Publisher: Alpha ISBN: 1-56761-588-0 Price: $16.99 Pages: 350 Goodies: Published: (to be released February 1995) =46or more information: Thanks for the info: Notes: Title: Complete Idiot's Guide to Usenet Author: Paul McFredies Publisher: Alpha ISBN: 1-56761-592-9 Price: $16.95 Pages: 325 Goodies: Published: (to be released February 1995) =46or more information: Thanks for the info: Notes: Title: Complete Idiot's Guide to the WorldWideWeb Author: Peter Kent Publisher: Alpha ISBN: 1-56761-542-2 Price: $19.95 Pages: 350 Goodies: ?
